Background

The County of Orange (County) Social Services Agency (SSA) is currently requesting proposals to provide Family Finding and Engagement Services (FFES). The purpose of this service is to find and engage family members and/or other supportive adults with children, youth, and young adults in foster care, with the aim of increasing their permanency options. The primary focus of FFES is to impact factors that mitigate risk and enhance healthy development and well-being for children/youth/young adults.

FFES employ an assertive team-based approach to locating and connecting or reconnecting children, youth, and young adults, up to age twenty-one (21) years, with their family members (including siblings) and/or other supportive adults. Various techniques and principles must be incorporated to conduct identification, search, engagement, and follow up activities to locate and connect or reconnect family members and/or other supportive adults of the children, youth, and young adults placed in out-of-home care by SSA. Activities may include, but are not limited to, case mining, telephone calls, internet searches, e-mail communications and in-person visits.
